Safety Information
To ensure safe operation and service of the tester, follow
these instructions.
WARNING! Do not attach to AC power.
The VDV MapMaster™ 3.0 is designed for use on
unenergized cabling systems.
Connecting the VDV MapMaster™ 3.0 to live AC power
may damage it and pose a safety hazard for the user.
Failure to observe these warnings
can result in severe injury or death.
Always Check Connectors First!
Poorly terminated RJ45 connectors have the potential to
damage the jacks on the VDV MapMaster™ 3.0. Always
visually inspect an RJ45 connector before inserting it into
the tester. All the contacts should always be recessed into
the plastic housing of the connector.
The use of a Port Saver (Platinum Tools P/N 21025C), a
sacrificial adapter with an RJ45 on one end and an RJ45
jack on the other, is highly recommended to extend the
life of the jack.
Only insert RJ45 connectors into the RJ45 jack in the
tester. Plugging 6-position connectors (RJ12/RJ11) into
the 8-position jack on the tester may damage the outer-
most contacts of the jack unless the connector is specifi-
cally designed for that purpose.
